TRAUMA

Trauma can become a kind of alchemical vessel through which the next stage of life is born. Where fate is concerned, there is no rejecting it, no getting rid of it. You have to go through it and find what is hidden in it.

-- Michael Meade, interviewed in The Sun

TRY

Trying without doing is wishing rather than choosing. You either have a plan in place or you are choosing not to act. “This being the case, how shall I proceed?” is a Zen saying that shows the automatic, assertive progression from circumstance to action.
